While the People Are Virtuous
The following text came to me yesterday from a fellow missions leader:
“Hi, Ron. Besides voting, which doesn’t seem to do much good, is there anything else that can be done to slow down the runaway circus of government? It’s getting quite serious!”
I gave him my answer, which I’ll share later.
In today’s article, I had already planned to discuss this problem from an unusual angle.
What angle?
We the People–and our desperate need for a renewal of virtue.
The Green New Disaster
We spent the last two days digging out from under a record snowfall in the Seattle area. Every muscle in my arms ache.
In all of my 65 years, I’ve never seen two feet of snow descend at sea level in Washington State–and stay on the ground for three weeks (that’s the forecast).
In 1949, 13.1 inches fell at SeaTac airport during the month of February. We’re at 14.1 now–and 24 inches across the water where we live.
This is NOT global warming or climate change. It’s global cooling as confirmed by many “honest” experts.
Now we get the Green New Deal. Are these people idiots, crazy, or just incredibly deceived?
I’m not buying the Green New Disaster.
Summer of Socialism: Reject the Hype.
For the majority of my adult life, the word “socialism” connoted something akin to the N-word or F-bomb.
Why?
Because socialism is a bad thing, just like the other two.
So why is socialism being revived in the United States in 2018? And what should we think about our “Summer of Socialism?”
Reject the hype.
